If your thermostat is stuck closed the top of your radiator will still be cold while overheating. Mine use to overheat and I would pull over and the top of the rad would be cold. I'd restart the car and the needle would suddenly drop as the thermostat opened. The top of the radiator was also...

Are the valve cover fittings pressed in or welded? I assume for a catch can? Now that im looking through he rest of the pics I can see they are welded. Don't they make AN fittings that press in? Just curious for myself.

Just an FYI -- there is already a thread on this forum for rare parts just like this

I have one of these sitting in my garage as well. I just removed it to run a BIC divorced downpipe. Was running it with a stainless Random Technologies downpipe. Never seen anyone else running a random technologies downpipe. I bought it about 20 years ago and it's all stainless and doesn't...

Also, you don't need to remove the steering wheel to adjust it. You can simply disconnect the input shaft where it goes into the rack, straighten the steering wheel and reconnect the input shaft.

Are the red plaid ones actually MK3 floor mats? I ask because why is there a hole for a hook. MK3 didn't have them unless that was JDM only.

Albert is still rebuilding them. He just rebuilt one for me. And he can do 57trim upgrades, 360 thrust washer, billet wheels, polishing, thermal coatings etc.

Thanks, I'll pass on the oil pan gasket. Just got new pads for the front and rear for $5 each and wipers for $1.26 each.

What is the 5% off code? Also, anyone know anything about the Felpro rubber oil pan gasket. I am aware you should use FIPK but I would like to replace the gasket without pulling the motor. If I use FIPK the motor would have to be pulled b/c there is no way you are putting a bead of FIPK on...

Sounds like they didn't replace the seals. My car smoked a little on start up when I had my head machined as well but I didn't tell them I needed new valve seals. I guess I assumed it was standard to replace them. When I got the car back the smoke was worse so I did the rope trick and...

I should be able to make it

My car blew blue smoke on start up. I did the rope trick and replaced the valve seals. 100% fixed the problem and now have zero smoke on start up. My car currently blows smoke when coming to a stop......I can see a trail of smoke go by. I am pretty certain it is my turbo seals which sounds...

I dig the rims and tires!!

Yea I wonder if it sold. He was getting a lot of questions about it. Only thing is he didn't have any pics of the engine or interior but I suspect it was in decent shape. You would just have to find a shadow gray dash. Also, i didnt like the fact it wasnt a manual from the factory. If I...

Since you don't have TEMS I would def. go with coilovers as they will perform better than any spring/strut combo. Check driftmotion.com as I think they have a decently priced set of Tein coilovers.
